The Official NA Metal Thread

Loxx O)))Loxx O)))
in Everything Else
Edit:  I guess we're going to change this thread from a hype thread about Wolves in the Throne Room to an all around metal thread.  Take note, get hyped, speak hate, and have fun here!







Literally just saw this and haven't watched/listened.  Too excited.



Edit: Wow, those drums are awkward as fuck most of the song, ha.  Would take some getting used to but nice to see they're back to metal.



Anyone else like black metal?  or Wolves?

    Yeah, somehow I don't think so Zac



    I was supposed to see them with Opeth and Enslaved but the venue wouldn't let them play

    Probably their no lights and candle-lit set stuff.  They were supposed to do a show with full lights when I saw them, but I think they were fucking with the venue because the lights kept going out for long periods and there was nothing but candle light.
  • Brock LandersBrock Landers
    I figured it was because they wanted to relocate the set to a mountaintop but the venue wasn't so hot on the idea
  • Loxx O)))Loxx O)))
    haha, I wish I could have seen one of their generator shows. I just know venues didn't like their idea of 'Turn all the lights off, we've got a few candles' thing.



    To be fair... this was after Great White killed a lot of people...

    This should just be our de-facto metal thread



    I haven't been able to listen to much of anything anymore since the kids were born. But dammit, I'm loading up the phone with music for work right now. I haven't listened to The Ocean in several years, my god!

    ABORT, GOD DAMNIT, ABORT.   



    I was fucking HUGE on them.  Precambrian is like the greatest thing ever.  Heliocentric was like... arena rock version of them.  Not terrible... but it makes you miss the previous album.  And the one after that, I never bothered to purchase.  Even though I had the special case from Heliocentric to put the next album in so I could align the stars and shit on it.  It's a huge let down.



    Fuck, maybe you'll like it.  Don't listen to me.



    I'm fine with having a metal thread.  Should I, or you, change the title?  I don't mind one bit.  As long as we keep the original post as 'Hey! The first WitTR video!'.  Not sure if that's how it works here.



    Did you get into other sludge?  SubRosa, Giant Squid, Grayceon?  All great stuff if you've never listened.



     
  • Brock LandersBrock Landers
    I have a couple Giant Squid albums. You're talking about Anthropocentric. Pelagial after that is awesome. Super awesome.



    Even these hipster asses agree

  • Loxx O)))Loxx O)))
    Yep, never heard Pelagial. It's good, though? I'll give it a shot.



    What about that idea for a metal thread? Can I? Or would I rely on a mod? Like I said, fuck it. I don't care. Let's make a metal thread. It might be my home.



    Edit: Grayceon has the cello player (and wife of main Giant Squid dude) in it.  Ugh, it's so good.  Giant Squid is slightly mellow but hyped?  Grayceon is really down beat and relaxing.  Until it gets fast and they start screaming.  It's not all the time, but it happens.



    Edit 2:  Fuck it.  I changed the thread.  LET'S DO THIS.  IGN 3.0

    Oh I thought the whole thing was silly, but whatever, Wintersun are amazing.
  • Loxx O)))Loxx O)))
    I just remember by the time Wintersun released Time I was over that kind of music. I'll give a few of the tracks a go. What is it called?

    It's on the site I sent you, "The Forest Seasons".
  • Loxx O)))Loxx O)))
    Well I glanced the site and saw the seemingly cool layout.   I'm trying to go to bed, not explore new sites. That comes later!

    I'm not a huge fan of death metal. Carcass is alright, though. I really like Corporeal Jigsore Quandary, Heartwork, and Unfit For Human Consumption.



    My preferred style of death metal is more along these lines:







  • demanufacturedmariodemanufacturedmario
    METAL!!!!
  • theinhumanwretchtheinhumanwretch
    i've loved metal and most of its derivative sub-genres since i was a kid. I'm a drummer and taught myself to play by listening to Dave Lombardo. 'Here Comes The Kraken' is one of the more interesting ones I sumbled on a few years ago. Their first album is great:







    glad to see such a love for metal on NA!

    I've listened to so much Precambrian I gave it a pass for now.  Those were albums I had the strongest desire to listen to this week, for whatever reasons

    Obscura is sweet.  Probably closer to modern tech death bands than stuff like Gorguts, but awesome regardless



    NostalgicMachine, you like Necrophagist?

    I wish The Ocean could get Mike back to do vocals. The current guy is passable... but there is just something about him that seems off.
